A host of activities have been planned for this year’s season of spooking, including pumpkin carving competitions, spinetingling story time sessions, Halloween trails, eerie animal enrichment crafts and a spooky cinema.

Visitors to the event can pick up a scary treat from the Himalaya shop and tuck into some ghostly grub in the restaurant and café, before going on to explore the animal world and Twycross’s indoor and outdoor enclosures.

The zoo is open to the public from 10am to 6pm, 364 days a year.
